Yes. The 82 litres is total capacity, including reserve.

The reserve light should illuminate with the other dashboard warning lights when you turn the key to the preglow position.

Behaviour of the reserve warning - when and if it seemed to work - has varied with different MB diesels I have owned. The accuracy of the fuel gauges has varied a fair amount too.
